Bill > HR231

This bill, called the Public Service Spending Integrity Act, aims to prevent the enrichment of certain government officers, employees, or their families through federal funds or contracting. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Beginning in fiscal year 2021, no federal funds may be used to procure goods or services at any business owned or controlled by a "covered individual" (the President, Vice President, heads of executive departments, and any other individuals designated as Cabinet-level by the President) or their family members, unless authorized under the Presidential Protection Assistance Act of 1976. 2. Executive agencies are prohibited from entering into or holding contracts with businesses owned or controlled by a covered individual or their family members. 3. The bill defines "covered individual" and "family member" to establish who is subject to these restrictions. It also defines "Executive agency" to clarify which government entities are affected. The bill aims to create a clear separation between public service and personal gain, maintaining Americans' trust in the government.
